The same person has been found to have used racially offensive terms towards Naitanui, who is of Fijian heritage, on at least three occasions on Twitter, the latest coming on Friday when he labelled the AFL star with a derogatory term.

Responding to an earlier tweet from NFL in Australia that featured the Eagles star, the person tweeted Naitanui saying "u're so black, can't even c u ******. U're a shit player. Stop tweeting fag, go snort some cocaine u druggy."

The tweet received a swift response from NFL in Australia. "I hope you have been hacked by low life scum. If you haven't and they are your words, get a life #racist #scumbag"

Naitanui has favourited the response from NFL in Australia.

He later tweeted about the issue, saying "education is the key my man! Would happily devote my time to help him see beyond colour #yougoinlearntoday".

The person responsible for the tweet also racially abused Naitanui on March 7, in reference to a tweet from the West Coast star in support of jailed Eagle Murray Newman.

"Shut up with your bible quote ******. You do the crime, you do the time ....."
